​Yes I'm that guy, the one who sits at the bar, notebook in hand, waxing somewhat poetically about the beer he's drinking. ​In fact, this blog was inspired by my little black book. Overall last year was a fantastic year for craft beer and I had the pleasure of tasting at several breweries and festivals including the Firestone Walker Invitational and the Orange County Brew Ha Ha.  Below is a list of beers from my notebook that I tasted, drank and enjoyed in 2012. The list is a long one and this year is shaping up to be much the same. Stay tuned for more beer adventures.
